Forward Controls Design Takedown Pin w/o Dimple, Black

PF-040 (Pins, Forward Controls, 0.040)Introducing the PF-040, a meticulously engineered set of AR-15/M16 pivot and takedown pins that exemplify simplicity and precision. Crafted from robust 17-4 PH stainless steel bar stock and finished with a QPQ coating, these pins are designed to exceed standard specifications with an additional 0.040 inches in length. This unique "reverse extended" design ensures that the extra length is on the left side of the receiver, allowing for seamless operation without hindering ambidextrous safety features. The PF-040 pins are engineered for ease of use, with the extended length on the right-side providing a larger grasping area, making pin removal effortless. The pin heads maintain a minimalist aesthetic, featuring a flat design with a subtle 45 degree chamfer, in line with our commitment to prioritize functionality over unnecessary embellishments. The absence of serrations or dimples on the right pin head underscores their streamlined design, while a small dimple on the opposite side allows for easy pin insertion using the tip of a bullet, accommodating calibers up to 9mm. For those who value preparedness, the PF-040 is available with an optional detent and spring kit, including four detents and three springs. This thoughtful inclusion addresses common installation challenges, such as the accidental loss of detents or bending of springs, ensuring you have the necessary components on hand for a smooth assembly process. The kit is affordably priced, making it a practical addition for any AR enthusiast looking to expand their collection. Adhering to TDP dimensions and tolerances, the PF-040 pins boast a precise diameter of 0.2485 inches (+0.000/-0.005), ensuring a perfect fit. Proudly made in the USA, these pins embody quality craftsmanship and reliability, making them an essential upgrade for any AR-15/M16 platform.
